Chapter five hundred and thirty-eight youth will eventually pass away(1/3)
The power of Chinese fans!
Looking back at Ross' trip to China at this time, it was more like a foreshadowing.
Of course, what's more important is that Rose has a second spring in the Nets!
Although in terms of statistics, Rose's improvement is not huge, fans can all see his efficiency and influence on the game.
As for whether Walker or the others performed better, All-Star voting reflects not strength but popularity.
Feelings are priceless, youth is priceless.
What's more, this youth is still going on.
For many people, if they can see Rose in the All-Star Game again, they will truly have no regrets about their youth!
Of course, this is only the top vote-getter in the first round, and due to changes in the All-Star voting rules, Rose's selection depends on the voting results of the players.
Judging from the current situation, it is still very difficult for Rose to be selected.
However, sometimes what matters is not the result, but the process.
Just like the final outcome for a person is death, but the important thing is to choose a way to live.
So let Rose enter in the fan vote, which is what many domestic fans, including North American fans, are doing now.
Although Rose's strength and low position in the league are declining, his popularity has never been low!
This can be seen from his consistently high jersey sales.
The five in the first round of the Eastern Conference: Rose, Walker, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic;
In the Western Conference, Kobe Bryant leads the way in votes, even higher than Lin Ying.
The Lakers played 28 live games, and Kobe conducted 28 retirement tours. No matter home or away, every game was sold out.
Although I have seen you at your peak, I want to witness your final farewell!
In the words of fans on social media, this is the final madness of the 6 billion Komi.
In addition to Kobe, another one worthy of attention is Anthony Davis.
This year's All-Star Game returned to New Orleans. Davis' votes surpassed Wiggins and ranked third among Western Conference forwards.
The five in the first round of the Western Conference: Kobe, Curry, Leonard, Anthony Davis, Pachulia.
The Nets' opponent in the first game in January is the Lakers.
Because it was an away game, the entire Nets team flew to Los Angeles a day early.
On the plane, Lin Ying and Durant both had expressions of emotion.
Although this is not the first time they have played against Kobe, even though they all knew as early as last season that Kobe's curtain call was not far away.
But knowing and experiencing are two different things.
I think back when they first entered the league, the first star they interacted with was Kobe.
At that time, Kobe was at his peak and the best player in the league.
Time flies and Kobe is about to make his final call.
"Shadow, will you be this spectacular when you retire?"
On the plane, Durant and Lin Ying talked about things that would happen in the future but were still far away.
"Probably not. I will most likely be like Tim and leave as soon as I'm ready to leave."
Lin Ying thought for a while and said.
With his current influence, if he really announced his retirement in advance that season, the scene would not be smaller than what Kobe is doing now, but that would be really tiring.
But then again, unless he retires early, he will probably be like Jordan, who will be guessed by fans even if he doesn't say anything.
"And you?"
Lin Ying turned around and asked.
"Me? If you retire, I will retire."
Durant said calmly.
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
What beautiful words. There is actually a child called "childlike innocence" living in Durant's heart.
Just like those playmates in childhood would agree on what they would do together when they grow up.
But who knows what it will be like when you grow up.
But at least this moment is still beautiful.
In the distance outside the airplane window, the sun began to set in the west, falling behind the clouds and scattering golden light.jpg.
When they arrived in Los Angeles, Lin Ying and Durant met with Kobe Bryant.
But this time it was not at a familiar training gym, but at a steakhouse.
Moreover, it’s not just Kobe, but also Vanessa and Gigi.
Kobe really liked his second daughter and wanted to stay by his side wherever he went.
"This steakhouse is owned by Shaq and specializes in Kobe steak."
Kobe is also very funny as he approaches retirement.
Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Kobe and "Kobe" didn't even know what happened so many years ago.
But looking at Kobe's current state of mind, he is indeed a lot more relaxed.
After all, after playing basketball all your life, can’t you just enjoy it?
"I am your fan now. When I retire, I will often go to your games. I don't have to worry about being late. I have a helicopter and I won't be stuck in the middle of the road."
Kobe said with a smile.
This is an American humor, and Durant couldn't help laughing after hearing it.
However, Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.
Kobe is retiring soon!
The same words, but at this moment it is a completely different feeling.
Because he knew that after retiring, Kobe would still be passionate about basketball and travel to various training camps.
And because of this in history, he experienced a helicopter crash with his favorite Gigi, who he still carries with him, and then went to heaven.
Lin Ying knew that his appearance had a butterfly effect and changed many things.
But Lin Ying doesn't know if Kobe, who retired only one year later than in history, will encounter the same thing in history again.
And if you have watched the "Death" series of movies, you will also know that some things cannot be changed.
Maybe you prevented it the first time and it still happened.
However, Lin Ying decided to give it a try.
After all, movies are movies and reality is reality.
"Kobe, don't you think it's unsafe to fly in a helicopter?"
Lin Ying said.
"Unsafe? No, you haven't experienced it. It is one of the safest means of transportation, just like airplanes."
What Kobe said is not wrong.
Planes and helicopters have the lowest accident rates.
First, there are adequate security checks for every flight. Second, the traffic environment in the air is much better than on the ground.
In contrast, for cars, it is impossible for you to do a set of inspections before driving every time, and the traffic conditions are changeable and complex.
This statement is established.
"But Kobe, don't you wish you were in control of the steering wheel? Just like on the field, you always like to hold the ball in your hands and control the outcome of the game, instead of passing the ball to your teammates and letting others decide your fate."
Lin Ying continued.
Kobe was stunned for a moment.
He obviously didn't expect Lin Ying to say that.
"But it saves time and I'm used to this mode of transportation."
Kobe said with a smile after coming back to his senses.
"If you retire, isn't time the most important thing to you?"
Lin Ying continued.
At this time, Kobe looked at Lin Ying with a strange look.
He didn't know why Lin Ying suddenly went so deep into this topic, and it seemed that he didn't want it to continue using helicopters.
To be continued...
